Mary Ellen said...: So, who is this ballplayer called "Unknown"? What's his first name? Charlie Unknown? Or is Unknown his first name, Unknown Smith?

I watched the Yankee/Indian game last night on the big screen at Cell Field as it was pouring rain. Those of us who remained in the ballpark until the game was finally called because of rain (not until 10:00 pm), were all rooting for Cleveland.; April 26, 2008 at 4:51 PM
Angie said...: I saw Unknown play in college. He's really not that good. The Yankees paid way too much for him.; April 26, 2008 at 6:16 PM

Christopher said...: I love the Yankees and MLB but I just can't focus until Memorial Day weekend. It's odd.

By the time we drive up to Toronto in July to see them play the Jays, I'll be insufferably jones-in over the team.; April 27, 2008 at 2:50 PM
Anonymous said...: Who cares about the Yankees when you can watch the Mets self-destruct. They won 4-3 yesterday and are up 6-3 now.; April 27, 2008 at 3:52 PM
Mauigirl said...: Maybe Unknown is one of the many Ghosts that live in the outfield of Yankee Stadium.; April 27, 2008 at 8:19 PM
Suzi Riot said...: Ummm... Go baseball! Yeah!; April 27, 2008 at 10:32 PM

B said...: Down with the Yankees!; April 28, 2008 at 11:13 AM
Dean Wormer said...: He's not unknown. He's just a player from Costa Rica and they're just too lazy to type out his full name.; April 28, 2008 at 12:11 PM
Christopher said...: Meanwhile, speaking of a former New York Yankee, the media is reporting that pitching legend Roger Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy McCready that began when she was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and he was the pitcher was a Boston Red Sox.

And I thought steroids were the biggest obstacle for him to get to Cooperstown?; April 28, 2008 at 6:42 PM
susan said...: I'm with Suzi!

'Beisbol bin berry gud to me'.. but we gave it up when we got rid of cable and I just can't pay attention long enough when it's on the radio or streaming and I'm doing other things.

It's something you have to be born to.; April 28, 2008 at 8:58 PM
Randal Graves said...: ME, you rooted for us? Perhaps your soul will not burn in the eternal lake of fire after all.

angie, but they've got the dough to do so. Bastards.

okjimm, what's the point of being sen to an independent league team if I can't hear Rickey Henderson talk about how great Rickey Henderson is and when Rickey Henderson steals a base it's like the gods themselves wished they could be Rickey Henderson.

fairlane, it wouldn't surprise me. Have you seen the size of his skull?

tomcat, call Tancredo! They're coming for his job!

christopher, Yankees fans. Well, everyone has a flaw. ;-) I'm kind of the same way though, but I really don't get into it until after basketball wraps up.

spartacus, look at it this way: they're getting their 'let's shoot ourselves in our feet' out now instead of waiting for September.

mauigirl, given the results of the last two games, I wish Unknown and the rest of the Yankees had gone drinking with the ghost of Ruth.

suzi, once more, with even less feeling!

POP, you're so coy. Tell us how you really feel. ;-)

b, oui!

dean, can't be as bad as that catcher for the Rangers, Saltolamacchia or whatever the hell is his name.

christopher, as funny as it sounds, you're right. I bet that gets held against him even more than the steroids, when it shouldn't.

susan, you're right, which is why I laugh when I see World Series games starting at 9. You want to cultivate the next generation of fans, start them earlier.; April 29, 2008 at 8:09 AM
Michael Bains said...: Unfortunately, it seems as if an "Unknown" is also batt.. errrr...in the line-up as DH for the Tribe.

What's a matter, Pronk? Can't hit w/o the Juice?

No evidence but the circumstantial.

Blech!; April 30, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Randal Graves said...: Hell, what's he down to now, .210? I'm shocked he's managed to drive in 16 runs to this point.; April 30, 2008 at 3:18 PM
